Burning
Discovering the truth and empowering the youths
And teach dem the things weh can help bear the fruits
Teach dem fi plant the corn and lay off the fruit loops,
The dangerous things weh dem put ina we foods
Dem nuh abreast suh me know seh dem confuse
Cause them cyah understand the knowledge weh dem a abuse
Kids growing up today might nuh know Ian Boyne, Dion Jackson Miller nor even Cliff Hughes
Get dem the books fi the classroom
Stop make dem watch cartoon
Dem a turn lunatics off of looney toon
Gwaan form fool the king is coming soon
Cyah make it if yuh head light like a balloon
Dem a bafoon we a make some higher moves
Cyah battle Babylon without the intellectual tools
Soon you will be murdered for not doing what you're told to do
And that's just the rules
But will you roll over
Or stand like a soldier
Can't be the average poser
In a mental roller coaster
That take everything that they throw at you
No no no no no no no,
Don't want to be overcome when hard times come
Don't want to be overcome when hard times come
Hold on and keep strong and bun Babylon
Babylon is burning
Hold on
Hold on and keep strong and bun Babylon
Babylon is burning
Hold on
Dem cyah stop this
A nuh stopwatch this
This a eye opener dem better watch dis
Bada dan nuff a dem and mi just a catch mi practice
Positive a cancel negative
Wah kind of maths this
Government act like dem care
But all dem do a sidung ina dem office
Bun di Roman Catholic priest Pope Francis
Nuh fraid fi bun dem out
And nah fi use foul language
How you fi be a millionaire and suh much people a suffer round here
deven give dem a sandwich
Is like them plan dis
Fi ostracize blackness
Tie up your locks sis and catch up the rope twist
Black soldier nuh black panther
Dem do a movie fi make we feel stronger
But our greatness was ordained by the master
Dem send fast food suh we nuh live longer
We a dead faster
The world is a disaster
Praise Prince Emmanuel
Him a di creator
Dead faster
The world is a disaster
Praise Prince Emmanuel
Him a di creator
Don't want to be overcome when hard times come
Don't want to be overcome when hard times come
Hold on and keep strong and bun Babylon
Babylon is burning
Hold on
Hold on and keep strong and bun Babylon
Babylon is burning
Hold on
Babylon a bun dung enuh
So If unu up deh
Come dung
Mhm
